[Flashcoders] Going Crazy :( - Strange problems with height and width before _rotation change
Hi everybody. I'm going crazy with this problem. Place in stage one rectangle (f.e with 200x100 dimensions) named mcRectangle. Put this as2 code trace(Original Size : + mcRectangle._width + , + mcRectangle._height); mcRectangle._rotation = 90; trace(BEFORE ROTATE 90 DEGREES: + mcRectangle._width + , + mcRectangle._height); mcRectangle._height = 100; mcRectangle._width = 100; trace(CHANGING MANUALLY HEIGHT AND WIDTH to 100x100, strange size is: + mcRectangle._width + , + mcRectangle._height); Output is: Original Size :201,101 BEFORE ROTATE 90 DEGREES:101,201 CHANGING MANUALLY HEIGHT AND WIDTH:101,199 When u apply one rotation, trying to assign manually width and height properties causes strange unpredictable effects... I'm trying to use xscale and yscale to avoid this problem, but i have another problems when try to make more things.. any solution? any suggestion? thx in advance ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
Re: [Flashcoders] protecting graphics
I like the way you think!

Re: [Flashcoders] how are they doing this? Papervision3d or pre-rendered 3d?
Whether they blit or not, everything is still a pre-rendered sequence, except the text. The clip layout is identical every time. I don't believe any distorian or 3d library API was used (ie PV3D or Sandy). There are a whole bunch of pre-rendered sequences that they are applying color transforms to to get the final cards. Anything to do with the card is pre-rendered. It's a 3MB file - look at the graphics. It's not 'composited' at runtime. Content is placed in a hierarchal layout - ie, old school Flash 6 style mc layout to get the look of perspective on a clip. The clips are separated into center content and bottom content (possibly top). The content is placed inside of that. Doing this through PV3D or Sandy, or any distortion API in actionscript wouldn't be a good approach anyway for something like this - not easily modified. Aside from the content on the card, it's still 'video' in the sense of all the pre-rendered sequences. cheers, jon On Sep 16, 2007, at 10:36 PM, Snepo - Arse wrote: I disagree, IMO tthe only video involved would be the initial sequence of the cards falling though that could easily be an image sequence.

Re: [Flashcoders] Voicerecording with flash?
I wouldn't sweat this. I sat down with someone and got audio recording
with Flash Media Server in about 2 hours. Here is the original script
that I wrote with a few buttons on the stage. The documentation that was
mentioned is very valuable. But, for simply playing media or recording,
the thing practically does it automatically. I bet there is a component
that does this much.
myNC = new NetConnection();
myNC.onStatus = function(info){
trace(Connect : + info.code);
}
myNC.connect(rtmp://localhost/server1);
//myNC.connect(rtmp://localhost);
myNS = new NetStream(myNC);
myNS.onStatus = function(info){
trace(info.code);
}
myMic = Microphone.get();
myNS.attachAudio(myMic);
record_btn.onRelease = function(){
myNS.publish(mySound2, record);
}
stop_btn.onRelease = function(){
myNS.publish(false);
myNS.play(false);
}
play_btn.onRelease = function(){
myNS.play(mySound2);

var ySteps = Math.sin(pointRatio*2* Math.PI);
var pointX = centerX + xSteps * radius;
var pointY = centerY + ySteps * radius;
Circle.lineTo(pointX, pointY);
}
}
Tweener.addTween(Circle, to);
}
I tried than to use it as a preloader by adding the Preload function and
ading a parameter to the drawC function as follows::
function drawC(centerX, centerY, radius, sides, percent){ *// here i added
the percent par*
Circle.per = 0;
Circle.lineStyle(4,0xFF,100);
Circle.moveTo(centerX + radius, centerY);
var to = {per:percent, time:1, transition:easeOutQuad,onUpdate:function()
{// *here i assigned the per property to the variable passed by the percent
parameter*
var pointRatio = ( this.per/sides);
var xSteps = Math.cos(pointRatio*2*Math.PI);
var ySteps = Math.sin(pointRatio*2*Math.PI);
var pointX = centerX + xSteps * radius;
var pointY = centerY + ySteps * radius;
Circle.lineTo(pointX, pointY);
}
}
Tweener.addTween(Circle, to);
}
Preload = function () {
total = _root.getBytesTotal();
onEnterFrame = function () {
loaded = _root.getBytesLoaded();
percentage = Math.floor(loaded/total * 100);
if(percentage !== 100) {
_root.drawC(250, 200, 15, 100, percentage); *// the percentage is passed
to the drawC*
}else if (percentage==100){
delete this.onEnterFrame;
};
};
};
Preload();
It doesn't work when theoretically it should.. I tried it without Tweener,
using a loop and it worked but without easing. like this:
function drawC(centerX, centerY, radius, sides, percent){ *// here i added
the percent par*
Circle.lineStyle(4,0xFF,100);
Circle.moveTo(centerX + radius, centerY);
for (i=0;i=percent;i++); *// used a loop here - passed the var percent*
var pointRatio = (i/sides);// *Used I instead of this.per*
var xSteps = Math.cos(pointRatio*2* Math.PI);
var ySteps = Math.sin(pointRatio*2*Math.PI);
var pointX = centerX + xSteps * radius;
var pointY = centerY + ySteps * radius;
Circle.lineTo(pointX, pointY);
}
Tweener.addTween(Circle, to);
}
Now how can I relate the percentage that is returned to the drawing circle
process with Tweener? Is there something wrong or something i miss?
Regards

[Flashcoders] Command-line compiler to change library contents
Hello All! I need to be able to deploy an entirely self-contained .swf (no network access, no local access... i don't know why not, I've just been told that's the way it is) BUT I need to be able to run a script that will swap out images that exist as library symbols, very Generator-like (those were the days kinda) I need to target Flash 8 so the Flex command-line compiler isn't an option. I've built a similar system before where ColdFusion generated the Flex MXML and called a .bat to run the compiler (not exactly standard practice but it worked brilliantly), and now I need to basically replace the Flex compiler with something else that targets Flash 8 and allows me to say library symbol X contains suchandsuch.jpg. Also, I'm moderately desperate. Has anyone done this sort of thing before? OpenLaszlo maybe?

[Flashcoders] complex button action
I have a movieClip that I move up or down based on it's curreny _y + a specified pixel height using Tweener code to move the movieClip smoothly. The action is called onRelease of an arrow movieClip. The client would now like it to constantly scroll onPress after holding the mousedown for say...1 or 2 seconds.

Re: [Flashcoders] complex button action
Hi,
I don't think you'll be able to accomplish a smooth solution using the
Tweener class as you will need to know the *change* for the easing effect to
look nice. You cannot know the change since the user will actually be
changing it. The way it would be done with the Tweener is to set it to ease
to each position, but this will not really work well on its own. There may
be a way to manipulate the input to get the desired effect, but you may not
want to go down that route. You could also tweak the easing algorithm to
take different parameters, but that's again a route you are probably going
to want to avoid.
I'd say abuse the Tweener and show the choppy result; show the client and
simply explain that given technical restrictions, making something smoother
is going to take more time.
There is a quick way to create a dynamic easeOut effect, but it may be alot
different than the effect you're using. This effect takes the difference in
the distance of two values and repeatedly reduces the difference by a
percentage. This creates a slowing down effect.
//assuming ball is a movieclip on the stage
ball._y = 0;
targetBallY = 100;
limit = 1; //pick a limit to stop easing
fact = 0.2; //pick a factor
function onEnterFrame(){
//get the difference
var difference = targetBallY-ball._y;
if(differencelimit) ball._y += difference*fact;
else {
ball._y += difference;
onEnterFrame = null;
}
}
